See Chip & Joanna Gaines’ Most Memorable Fixer Uppers

Grab a piece of shiplap to dry your tears because season five of HGTV‘s popular reno show Fixer Upper is going to be the last, revealed stars Chip & Joanna Gaines in a recent video. The couple have decided to focus on their family and other businesses, which include a real estate company, bakery, retail shop, two bed and breakfasts — Hillcrest Estate and the Magnolia House — as well as a paint line and home decor line among others. To commemorate all their beautiful home transformations, we’ve compiled some of our favorites here. See some of Chip and Jo’s most memorable TV makeovers below.

“For years I’ve drawn design inspiration from old world European mercantile-style bakeries,” says Joanna of their newly opened bakery in Waco, Texas. “I wanted this whole place to feel like you’d stepped back in time to a little bake shop in France.”

“The simple black and white of the Letterfolk Boards is such a fun addition to the wall,” says Joanna. “Our employees voted and ‘Cupcakes are muffins that believed in miracles’ was the winning phrase.”

In the Barndominium’s living room, Joanna incorporated a jute rug, white linen sofa and rich brown leather chairs. “Something I love to incorporate into rooms is a perfect mix of new and old, so I added in layered frames, an old galvanized planter and an antique faceless metal clock,” says Joanna.

Designing a doggie spa in this house was a first for Joanna. “When the Chapmans requested it we all had a good laugh, but this is definitley one of my favorite things about the whole house,” says Joanna. “The built-in shelving unit made this area a practical place to store jackets, laundry supplies and odds and ends.”

“Knowing that the exposed beams would warm up the space, I went with white cabinetry, white countertops and a white backsplash,” says Joanna. “Accents like black iron pendants, navy details and wooden beams finish this room up perfectly.”

“The beams we added throughout the living spaces and master bedroom were actually faux beams, meaning they were hollow,” explains Joanna. “Brittany loved the look of beams, and this was an inexpensive way to achieve the exact same look.”

“Chip and I fell in love with this house immediately and knew we wanted to renovate and flip this home,” says Joanna. “The house already had a cottage feel to it, so our goal was to update it by adding modern touches without removing that cottage vibe we loved so much.”

“The antiqued finish of the mirror on the built-in cabinets was a fun design detail that really makes this living space unique,” says Joanna. “The cabinets were custom built to look antique and without a fireplace, they’re the main focal point in this space.”

“This houseboat was for Brett Swartz, a friend of ours who loves being outside and experiencing the outdoors with his four kids,” says Joanna. “We wanted it to have a modern and masculine feel, so we utilized raw design materials, like metal and wood.”

“We really wanted Brett to feel like he had his own space here, no matter how small the houseboat was, so we made sure to make the master suite a priority,” says Joanna. “A skinny shiplap feature wall, two new windows with black awnings, and floating side tables were the touches that made this space feel like a real master suite.”

“This [bed and breakfast] project was definitely unique for the show in that Chip and I were our own clients, says Joanna. “This was special for us because in the end, we got to reveal it to our parents followed by dinner with the family.”

“Our boys and I had a blast designing the Morgan’s son’s room,” says Joanna. “My boys thought he’d want a space for his friends to stay when they had sleepovers, so we did a custom bunk bed/day bed combination.”

“To save on space, I designed this fun booth-style dining table and bar surround in the Morgan’s kitchen,” says Joanna. “It ended up working perfectly after our carpenter friend, Clint Harp, brought the table to life.”

“These clients were looking to settle into a family home that matched their modern style, but wasn’t too far from the natural elements they both loved about Colorado,” explains Joanna. A concrete-look wall and tan leather sofa achieves just that.

“In this living room, both the mantle and the unique bay windows were original to the home,” says Joanna. “The arched doorways and shiplap over the mantle were added to continue the traditional character throughout the home.”

“This is a modern twist on the old school galley kitchen a lot of us grew up with,” explains Joanna. “By elongating the kitchen, adding the oversized island and the columns, the Phipps family will have more than enough prep space and bar seating.”

“The Bufton’s playroom was a must for this growing family,” says Joanna. “I loved that it was a comfortable space for their kids to spread out and play on the first floor of their home, so they’re never too far from mom and dad.”

“The fireplace was definitely the anchor of this entire main living space,” says Joanna. “It was out of date and needed something to freshen up its look, so we decided to keep the original shape and character of it, but cover the brick in white stucco to give it a more modern feel.”
